  • Abdul, reed FCOM and then write your opinion.

  • Wait I thought using reverse thrusters under 60 knots damages the angines???

  • @MatisDaBest Not always, DC-9 engines set high above the ground and the probability of damage is low.

  • @Bazukavia Wait so the damage is to do with the height off the ground, sorry but I have never really known how it actually damages the engines?

  • @MatisDaBest Damaging caused by stones and dust raised by the reverse thrust and pulled into the engine.

  • good ole Northwest

  • the DC9 really is the perfect airplane. It's so versatile!

  • ahh the power of reverse thrust...amazing!

  • Where are The REAR VIEW MIRRORs ?? :-))

  • thats easy every aircraft can do that! All u do is reverse thrust and the air plane will go backward

  • I want to see a 747 do this.

  • Brings back FSX memories
